| | | Protect the software you develop from unauthorized copies, limit the usage in time, to a specific set of |
| | | machines, or prevent the usage in virtualized environments. It is an open source license management system that helps to keep your |
| | | software closed :smirk: . Among the other features the most notable one is: if it runs on a "real hardware" |
| | | software closed |:smirk:| . Among the other features the most notable one is: if it runs on a "real hardware" |
| | | it can generate a signature of that hardware and report if the signature doesn't match, because for instance |
| | | the software has been copied to another pc. |
| | | |
| | | A comprehensive :ref:`list of features <analysis/features:Features>`, and their status is available in the project wiki. |

| | | The software is made by 4 main sub-components: |
| | | |
| | | * ``licensecc`` : the C++ library with a C api (the part you have to integrate in your software) with minimal (or no) external dependencies. This is the project you're currently looking at. |
| | | * ``lccinspector`` : a license debugger to be sent to the final customer to diagnose licensing problems or for calculating the pc hash before issuing the license. |
| | | * `licensecc` : the C++ library with a C api (the part you have to integrate in your software) with minimal (or no) external dependencies. This is the project you're currently looking at. |
| | | * ``lccinspector`` : a license debugger to be sent to the final customer to diagnose licensing problems or for calculating the hardware id before issuing the license. |
| | | * ``lccgen`` : a license generator (github project `lcc-license-generator`_ ) to initialize the library and generate the licenses. |
| | | * ``examples`` : usage samples (github project `examples <https://github.com/open-license-manager/examples>`_ ). |
| | | |
| | | .. _lcc-license-generator: https://github.com/open-license-manager/lcc-license-generator |
| | | |
| | |
| | | * tools : Cmake(>3.6), git, make/ninja(linux) |
| | | * libraries : If target is Linux Openssl is required. Windows depends only on system libraries. Boost is necessary to build license generator and to run the tests but it's NOT a dependency of the final `licensecc` library. |

| | | Branches and status |
| | | ********************* |
| | | |
| | | * On branch ``master`` there is the 'legacy' 1.0.0 version. This version is working but doesn't correspond to the current documentation, and we don't plan to actively fix it. There are well-known bugs and limitations. We still accept community contributions on this branch. Feel free to propose your pull request. |
| | | * On branch ``develop`` there is the upcoming 2.0.0 version that corresponds to the documentation. This version is under development and has not been extensively used/tested. However we encourage users to download and use this one. |
